#4 The Mysterios with a Rumble surprise

Rey Mysterio, Bad Bunny, and Dominik Mysterio

One of the more suprising entrants in the Men's Royal Rumble match was singer and rap artist Bad Bunny. He made his WWE debut at WrestleMania 37 last year and impressed fans with his performance. Even in the Rumble match this year, he put on a great show before getting eliminated by Brock Lesnar.

In the above picture, Bunny can be seen with Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik backstage at the event. WWE also shared a behind-the-scenes video on social media of Mysterio giving his mask to Bad Bunny as a sign of respect and appreciation after the match.

#3 Whose side are you actually on, Paul?

The Advocate or The Special Counsel?

Paul Heyman walked into this year's Royal Rumble as the Advocate of WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. However, he walked out of the show as the Special Counsel to Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

In this photo, Heyman can be seen in a production area backstage at the Premium Live Event. Fans were shocked (but not that shocked) to see him turn on Lesnar and return to The Tribal Chief mere weeks after Reigns fired him.
